Topic: Tinybox battery life (over the life of the product).... (Read 13302 times)

I have been enjoying use of the Tinybox I purchased and received in May of 2012. As I recently moved to a town with a vibrant club, it has been getting weekly use. I know these take a bit to build if I were to need a replacement, so how long can I expect the battery to last before needing a new one? If I needed a new battery, where could I get one?

Jon has mentioned what parts he uses (including the battery) in previous threads. I'm pretty sure there is a thread about having to switch over to Ni-Cad batteries because he can no longer ship the Li-Ion batteries.

That being said...probably easiest (and safest) to send it back to him. I suspect the turnaround for a battery wouldn't be very long.

If you really don't want to send it back (and/or want to do it yourself) it should be as simple as opening it up and looking at what it says on the battery. A Google search would likely bring up the replacement part.

I remember seeing this information in a thread a while ago, but I have been searching for 30 mins now, and I still can't find it... Anyone know where this tinybox thread is?My old tinybox (1.5) is the li-ion kind and from 2011, it would be nice to have a replacement battery lying around.

Thank you Jon, that was the information I was looking for :-)I will think about whether I will get a new Li-ion battery or have you replace it with NiMH. Would you think my Li-ion battery is getting near its end? Bought late 2011, used maybe 30 times a year, charged mostly every time...-c
